"If you are here reading my review but haven't actually seen the movie yet...please take the plunge and buy it, rent it, or borrow it! This is a great movie for horror/suspense/mystery fans. The movie has a certain creepy atmosphere that money just can't buy. The concept is pretty simple and there isn't much new here (excluding the very end!) but the movie itself keeps the viewer interested.
'Soft For Digging' does what much more lavish and expensive films, with some exceptions, fail to do...keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you feeling satisfied.
The film does have it's less than stellar moments, but i would have to say that they are few and far between. most importantly, they don't take away from the overall uneasiness and almost unbearable tension which make up the fabric of the film.
Thumbs up and enjoy!

"That the protagonist of this extraordinary independent film is elderly, alone and isolated turns out to be a dividing point for viewers who want to see nubile teens mutilated ad nauseum. Director J. T. Petty knew what he wanted to do even in college when he made this film. It's what hardcore connoisseurs of horror look for: respectful of the genre, well-made (within a rigorously limited budget) and surprising. Emerging from a noir sensibility, it's a unique and worthwhile contribution."
